Hi, I went fishing today, I use some different spinner, I did use thunderbug green and red one with dress hook, Tried the aglia with dress hook and also a golden super duper. I was able to see the fish under water with my polarized sunglasses, I saw lots of them running after my spinners but none going for the bite, I tried different speed to reel my spinner back but nan nothing, worst I was seing like 3 or 4 at the time running after the spinner but absolutely no bite!
I start to think that the trout were laughing at me!
any tricks I should know?

Try tipping the hook with a little bit of worm. Don't do it on super duper though, it messes with the action I find.. but other ones, try using a small piece of worm on it.

What type of fish were you seeing?

It might have had something to do with retrieval speed. I have seen this before. Even with a worm on, if the fish get a good look at your spinner they may realize something is not fishy about it. Try a faster retrieve to trigger some bites.

What I try when fish charge the lure then turn is when I see them start to charge i reel much faster, i think it invokes a predatory response and there more likely to take. Hope that helps

Thankyou guys for your reply I will try that tomorrow, sadly I had to buy a new fishing pole, my rapala magnum snapped after I tried to dislodge my lures, I bought a new one, lightning shock from berkley!, I will try your tip tomorrow and see how it goes, thanks again.

And Billy, the fish were trout, big bunch of them, some were coming pretty close too.

Sometimes, it might not be what they want but your close. Sometimes a smaller or different color will be the key.
